We are delighted to offer to the market 'Taw Croft' a detached 1960's family home which has been in the same family since it was built. Although the house requires updating, it offers tremendous potential for the next owner to put their own individual mark on the house and so become the custodian of what can be a fine family home.

The house occupies a most enviable position to the edge of this very sought after village, standing in a commanding location with quite breathtaking panoramic views over the Taw Estuary. The gardens are extensive, very level and will be of particular interest to keen gardeners to create something special from a blank canvass of lawns. The house is in a lovely tucked away position in a quality private road of individual homes.

Taw Croft is of traditional cavity construction with colour washed & rendered elevations under a tiled roof. The rooms flow nicely and benefit from gas heating and Upvc double glazing. The accommodation comprises an entrance conservatory to the front and a larger conservatory to the rear. The hall has a useful shower room & cloakroom and access to the main reception rooms. The sitting room has an attractive Minster fireplace with in set gas fire. There are 2 doors leading into the main conservatory and from here you can sit in comfort to take in the marvellous views. The dining room leads into the kitchen which then leads to a useful utility room & store. There is a study which could easily be a 4th bedroom. To the first floor are 3 bedrooms, 2 with wardrobes, and a family bathroom.

As there is ample space around the house which offers very good potential to extend to create more bedrooms and bathrooms, sub to pp. Furthermore, there is potential to build in the side garden (subject to planning permission) however, this is also subject to an overage in favour of the current owner.

Only when viewed can the full feel of the property and it's potential be fully appreciated. The house faces south so the view is phenomenal with the vista encompassing Codden Hill to the east, down through the estuary and all the way around to Hartland Point in the west. It really could not get any better than this!

Here there are more shrubs, flower beds, a camelia bush and patio. The side garden is subject to an overage should this be developed in the future.
